Jordan has spoken out in defence of the sexually explicit behaviour featured on her reality TV show, Jordan and Peter: The next chapter.

The former glamour-model and her husband, singer Peter Andre, have admitted they found the degrading content of their show "disgusting" after scenes sparked controversy among audiences.

Their lewd antics, filmed in front of their children, have reportedly caused child experts to question the couple's parenting skills.

Jordan told Closer: "I know it's disgusting, but we get carried way. It's so easy to forget cameras are there."

"It is disgusting - but Pete always starts it."

A recent episode of the show sees Jordan, 29, dropping to her knees in front of Peter to re-enact their first sexual encounter after meeting on ITV's 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here' in 2005.

In another scene, Jordan straddles Peter,35, simulating sex once again.

The couple also have inappropriate discussions in front of their three children, Harvey, six, Junior, two and Princess, nine months, squabbling over what constitutes sex.

Peter tells Jordan: "Yeah I could easily have sh***ed you because you were so drunk.

Later, he tells Junior: "Daddy got a bit excited when they were making him."

Child psychologists have deemed the behaviour "inappropriate" claiming it could have damaging effects on the children.

This is the second time this year Jordan's parental abilities have been called into question.

In February, former nanny Becky Gould attacked the couple saying that they spend no time together as a family and that they were even quizzed by social services after their son disabled son Harvey scalded himself with boiling water.

Harvey, her son with footballer Dwight Yorke, suffers from impaired sight, autism and has a hormone deficiency which means he already weighs eight stone.

Jordan is said to be having a tough time juggling her career with motherhood, having to recently combine a book promotion with Harvey's medical results.

She said: "I'm seeing doctors about Harvey's diagnosis, but I've got my book launch this afternoon in Harrods so I'm going to have my hair and make-up done and dress as a mermaid while they tell me"

"It's crazy but it's the only way to fit in everything."

Peter criticised Jordan for taking her career too far, but admits the reality show is necessary for their image.
